APATÍA, DESMOTIVACIÓN, DESINTERÉS, DESGANO Y FALTA DE APATÍA, DESMOTIVACIÓN, DESINTERÉS, DESGANO Y FALTA DE PARTICIPACIÓN EN ADOLESCENTES MEXICANOS Apathy, lack of motivation, disinterest, reluctance, and lack of participation in Mexican adolescents

The aim of this research was to explore the causes of apathy, lack of motivation, disinterest, reluctance, and lack of participation in Mexican adolescents. 200 adolescents of both sexes, ranging 13 to 15 years old, participated. The Apathy’s Causes Questionnaire was applied. It was observed that teenagers feel apathy to participate in family dynamics, in school, and in physical and religious activities, probably because they consider those activities will not produce any good to their lives, both biologically (survival), and psycho-socio-culturally (to be more and better than others and themselves). These indicators entail risks, and also suppress in them the opportunity to develop their own potential.
